 * "Right, Ski-" Raggat falls back into the water, slain. Tarbag and another stoat named Loopoil leap aboard and challenge Sharky and Thrid with waving sword and cutlass. Sharky, who has been devoid of any weapons, grabs a dirk and joins Thrid, who has grabbed a spear and an old rotted roundshield. Tarbag slashes at Thrid's shield, and the searat throws it at Tarbag, who falls backward from the force of the shield hitting him in the face. Thrid now grips his spear with both paws and thrusts down at anybeast attempting to board the Thridwake. Then they all stop as the Black Skrab gives a harsh groan and a splintering sound as it rolls over on its side in the shallows, minus a mizzenmast. Sharky stabs at Loopoil now, and the fight begins again.
